Going Green on Keowee: 31 volunteers band together to clean up Hwy. 133

March 1, 2010 by Kathryn Coleman-Gravely

As part of The Reserve’s commitment to “going green,” the Community Foundation has adopted a four mile portion of Highway 133, which borders The Reserve.  Part of this commitment is to clean the section four times a year.  The first sweep of the highway took place in February — thanks to the 31 volunteers who made our first Adopt-A-Highway sweep a success!  The number of people committing an hour and a half of their time and the amount of litter removed from outside our community was extraordinary. Volunteers scoured our four miles of roadway collecting 80 full bags of litter and 13 bags of aluminum cans which were sorted separately for recycling.   

31 Reserve at Lake Keowee Volunteers gather at the Hill House to help with the Adopt-a-Highway project.

“We can all be proud of the part we played.  Our stretch of roadway looks wonderful and, best I can tell, we all had fun making it that way.  Experiences shared by some of the teams were side-splitting and memorable,” says Reserve Member, Janet Greiner.Three more cleanups are scheduled in 2010 and the next date is May 17th.  Contact me at kgravely@reservekeowee.com to sign up.
